quickly manipulated by any inexperienced person or child.

Thel invention is designed to include a i frame having a plurality ofwheels mounted thereon for operating the device as a wagon and .rockerscarried by the frame forconverting the wagon, merely by inverting theframe, into a rocking chair.

Another object of the invention is, to .provide the frame with aswiveling axle and a tongue or bail swingingly connected to the axle fordrawing the vehicle.V i

Another obj ect of the inventionis to provide a transverse supportsecured between the frames and made to serve as a seat whenever therocker or wagon is in action.

The novel combination of parts are more fully described in the followingspecification and claims, reference being made to the accompanyingdrawing in which:

Figure 1 represents a verticallongitudinal section showing the rocker inaction.

Fig. 2 is a similar sectioncshowing the wagon in action.

' Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken `along the line 3 3 of Fig. l.

In the drawing the numeral 5-designates a pair of side frames preferablymade of wood and each having a rocker 6 extending to the top of theframe. Between the frames is rotatively journaled a shaft or axle 7 andon the axle are mounted a `pair of wheels 8. l

At the opposite portioniof'the frame is swiveled a steering devicevconsisting of a shaft 9 having thereon a pair lof wheels 10 and fixedto the shaft is a carriage 11. The Vcarriage is bolted at 12 to atransversey frame 13 which is secured to the side frames.

A tongue or bail 14 havinor a handle 15 is made to draw the wagon.Vrihen the rocker -is in use* the bail is swung over the sides of theframe and is held by having the handle engagea spring clasp 16 securedin a notch in .the side framev as indicated in Fig. 1. y

'lVhen the bail is in use as shown in F ig.V 2 it y can beswungoutwardly by turning it abolitthe shaft 9 andthe wagon canbesteered by 60 Y "with the' frame 13 as ,.1

When the device is utilized as a rockingchair the child sits on a seat17 with its feet on a baseboard 18 fastened to the frames. 65

In this position the riser 19 serves as a back' vrest for the child anda riser 20 as a support for the seat. A tray 21 fixed between the jframes is adapted to hold marbles or other articles forthechild toplay-with. It will be 7 0 seen that when the rocker is inverted asindicatedrin Fig. v2, the frames will be supported on theV wheels and byhauling onthe bail the wagon is wheeled along the ground.

The parts such as the Wheels and seats being permanently fixed requireno positioning for converting the `rocker into a wagon. In bothVpositions the transverseboard 17 serves as a seat but the riser20performs the function of a support for the seatasnoted above and alsoasa rest for the back of the child when -used as a wagon,'wl1ile a board22 is arf ranged for resting the feet.
